The partner notification service is part of a public health initiative to help protect the public and limit the spread of STIs.

When you choose to use this service to inform one or more sexual partners that you’ve been diagnosed with an STI, you are acting privately and anonymously, as well as individually and of your own volition, in a spirit of goodwill and respect, and with full knowledge of the potential consequences.

Your aim is to inform each person you contact of your diagnosis, in order to encourage them to see a doctor. Once you’ve sent a message, it cannot be changed. Please read the Legal Note before using this service.

Aside from total abstinence, a monogamous sexual relationship with a known healthy partner is the best way of avoiding this and all other sexually-transmitted diseases. Condoms remain the best and most reliable protection against this and other sexually-transmitted diseases for sexually active people. Condoms should be used consistently and correctly when any sexual behavior falls outside abstinence or monogamy with a healthy partner. Consider using a condom or dental dam for oral sex, particularly if the risks are unknown.
